5 The Woodlands Facebook Pages You Should Follow

THE WOODLANDS, TX - There is something for everyone in The Woodlands, which makes staying connected to area happenings an essential enterprise, be it through your local Patch or this list of five Facebook pages that Patch readers in The Woodlands area are invited to follow:

• Conroe Independent School District: The Conroe Independent School District encompasses The Woodlands, Shenandoah, Oak Ridge North, Conroe and Caney Creek as well as a number of other, smaller towns, communities and unincorporated areas, with an average enrollment growth of approximately 1,500 students each year. Parents have access to information pertaining to student attendance, progress reports and report cards, daily grades, state test results, discipline and available lunch money through the school's main website.

• The Woodlands Arts Council: The Woodlands Arts Council seeks to bridge gaps and cultivate the relationship between art and community. Formed in 2004, the council began as a foundation for the Waterway Arts Festival, which is now a marquee fundraising event for the council's Because Art Matters event.
